This intimate, 88-seat cocktail bar is the brainchild of Alchemy Consulting—the cocktail renaissance men behind local favorites The Rusty Knot and The Randolph. The spot offers a rotating cocktail menu—15 or so specialty drinks, based on seasonal ingredients and the bartender’s own interests—that changes every four to six weeks.
